SIX-FIVE SPECIAL
Theme from the TV Show "Six-Five Special" (1957)
Don Lang & His Frantic Five - 1957
(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)
The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special's right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight
The Six-Five Special better not be late
The Six-Five Special, platform eight
The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be
The station is a-shakin' like a tree
And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me
Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far
(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)
The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight
(Instrumental Break)
(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)
The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special's right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight
Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far
(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)
The Six-Five Special better not be late
The Six-Five Special, platform eight
The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be
The station is a shakin' like a tree
And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me
(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)
When the Six-Five Special brings my baby back to me
(Over the points, over the points, over the points.......FADE)
